Impressive picture Sean.
Bark looks just like in that image above......

I'll bet it doesn't make for good photos. The power company stubbed 1/3 by the lines.

The other part of the tree was topped before, and it a bit unbalanced.

Visually, it may look its best from a distance right now to the untrained eye.

But I will get some pics - the bark is really cool looking.

If I get some bigger pieces, our parrots may enjoy destroying pieces of bark - although, seems that oak is bad for pet birds if I recall my list right.

Having not seen one before, I thought I was approaching Eucalyptus trees at first due to the leaf color.
